Yan Maocai trembled for a moment, then hurriedly braced himself and said nonsensically: "Futai is beautiful, Kunshan is rich, and there are many giant families. Although the Xu family is large, it is not considered a first-class family in Kunshan! Therefore, it was not moved before the family was moved. If they also need to be relocated, then almost all the clans in Kunshan will be relocated!"
"Nonsense, have you not fully understood the imperial decree, or are you still resisting? Even if Kunshan is full of wealthy families, they will be relocated. Do you understand?!"
Wen Yuren replied.
"This is indeed the beginning of the official's negligence. He didn't know the meaning of pacifying the stage. How should he deal with it?"
Yan Maocai asked quickly.
And Xu Kaifa also followed up and said: "Futai Rongqing! Although the Xu family is large, it is indeed not a first-class family in Kunshan. It is said that in a situation like ours, it can be divided and moved or not, and if you want to not divide it, Those who moved said they had to pay a relocation fee exemption. The students also heard from people in the province. I don’t know if there is such a rule. If so, the Xu family is willing to pay the relocation fee exemption."
When Xu Kaifa said this, he was asking Wen Yuren: "Tell me, Dog Officer, how much do you want."
Wen Yuren naturally understood what Xu Kaifa meant, but his purpose in coming to Kunshan was not to make money, so he asked back: "Who did you listen to?"
Xu Kaifa didn't know how to answer now.
He originally thought that Wen Yuren wanted money, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have other purposes.
Xu Kaifa could only make nonsense: "I heard nonsense from people in the streets."
"Can you believe it if it's nonsense?"
Wen Yuren sneered and said, "Take all these field records and population records away!"
With that said, Wen Yuren glanced at Yan Maocai and said, "Zhixian Yan, you'd better give me your solid background."
Yan Maocai didn't know what to do for a moment.
But what he can be sure of is that this Wen Yuren is not here for money.
"Let's go and investigate again, the families listed on the list of wealthy families by Yan Zhixian."
As he spoke, Wen Yuren took a look at the list of big clans, and then ordered: "Let's go home first."
Yan Maocai couldn't help but get excited when he heard the word "Guijia". He thought that he had already sent people to surround Guijia. Now if the governor found out that he had sent people to surround Guijia for no reason, how could he explain it? All are exposed.
"No matter what Wen Yuren wants to do, he can only use the people above him to suppress him."
After Yan Maocai thought this, he quickly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Then, Yan Maocai said to Wen Yuren: "Futai doesn't know anything, all this is the elder's intention!"
When Wen Yuren heard that Yan Maocai said it was Mr. Ge who was behind him, but did not directly say that His Highness the Seventh Prince was behind him, he seemed to be given a shot of stimulant again and became even more excited. He did not expect that there was such a big fish behind him!
Because if Yan Maocai directly said that it was the seventh prince's intention, he would not continue to pursue the case and only impeach Yan Maocai.
After all, Wen Tiren only asked him to impeach those who were friends with the Seventh Prince, but did not allow him to directly offend the Seventh Prince.
"Which Pavilion Elder?"
Wen Yuren asked.
"Mr. Cai Ge, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Household Affairs! If I remember correctly, your family in Futai and his family are family friends, and Mr. Cai Ge is also your brother's arm in the court."
Yan Maocai spoke at this time.
Wen Tiren couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this, but he also became more excited and thought to himself: "I am going to be promoted!"
Therefore, Wen Yuren sneered: "Although you are just a county magistrate, you know quite a lot."
Yan Maocai noticed Wen Yuren's shocked expression at first when he heard that he was Mr. Cai Ge. Therefore, he breathed a sigh of relief and gained some confidence, so he continued: "Futai doesn't know something. The lower official once served as county magistrate in Huayang."
What Yan Maocai meant by this was that he had been the assistant officer of the seventh prince when he was the magistrate of Huayang, and it meant that he was the seventh prince, so he naturally knew this.
In fact, Wen Yuren had known it for a long time, but at this time he still pretended to be surprised and said: "I see."
"In this case, I can't continue the investigation."
Wen Yuren replied.
Yan Maocai therefore cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Futai for showing mercy. I will thank you with great courtesy when I get promoted to an official position in the future!"
"Wait a minute, you said it was Mr. Cai Ge who meant it. Is there any clear evidence?"
Wen Yuren said one more thing, and then said: "You can't just be someone who can use some pavilion boss to scare me!"
Yan Maocai therefore replied: "Then please ask Futai to move to the county government office! I will show you the handwriting of the slave from my hometown."
So Wen Yuren went back to the county government first, got the handwritten letter from Cai Ge's hometown slave Niu San, and then kept it.
Yan Maocai couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this: "What does Futai mean?"
"Huh? Is this what you can ask?"
Wen Yuren asked Yan Maocai quite majestically.
As the governor, he can naturally do whatever he wants in front of Yan Maocai.
"Yes! I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
But Yan Maocai still became a little worried because of this, thinking: "Is this Wen Futai trying to collect information about Mr. Cai Ge, so that the Wen family can control Mr. Ge, and at the same time control myself?"
After thinking this way, Yan Maocai did not dare to disobey Wen Yuren.
At this time, Fan Youcai, the general flag officer of the patrol station whom Wen Yuren had met before, came to the county office and shouted: "Reporting to the county magistrate, we received reports from the people that a murder occurred in the Stone Beach area of Guijia River. We were there in the end. Bloodstains buried in the soil were found, and a county student official named Gui Jideng was found downstream. He confirmed that he and dozens of classmates were indeed killed by many men in black!"
Yan Maocai was stunned after hearing this, and thought to himself: "These men in black are the brave men of the Xu family. They should not be able to trace me."
"Where's Gui Jidenren?"
Wen Yuren asked.
"It's outside."
Fan Youcai replied.
"Bring it over! Leave it to my camp. Since dozens of people were killed, it falls under the category of rebellion! The provincial secretary will take over it directly!"
As he spoke, Wen Yuren asked Yan Maocai: "Zhixian Yan, do you have any objections?"
"No! The lower officials did not manage well, and such a big case occurred. It is because the lower officials failed in their duties!"
Yan Maocai replied.
Wen Yuren smiled faintly.
Next, Wen Yuren returned to Suzhou with the field registers, population registers of Gui Jideng and the Xu family, and the list of the county's wealthy families.
Shortly after Wen Yuren left, Xu Qian hurriedly came to Yan Maocai: "County Lord! My father asked the students to ask, what is the meaning of Futai? Can our Xu family avoid this disaster of relocating the clan?" "
"How do I know what kind of medicine is sold in this Futai gourd? I only know that he is the younger brother of the minister Wen Xiang (honorific title), and Cai Ge is always a person of Wen Xiang. He must consider his brother, not to mention , I also told him that there is the Seventh Prince behind this, so he would not risk offending his brother and the royal family to become an upright official."
Yan Maocai said.
"But he came to the county incognito for no reason to investigate what he was doing, and it wasn't for money."
Xu Qianxue asked.
Yan Maocai glanced at Xu Qianxue in astonishment: "The boy is teachable! That's a good question. Why is he in the county?"
Xu Qianxue then suggested: "Perhaps Wen Futai just wants to make money! But he doesn't want to make it too obvious. The county magistrate might as well give some gifts to his disciples in the name of sending tax money to Suzhou. For example, If he accepts it, that's fine. If he doesn't accept it, His Highness the Seventh Prince and Mr. Ge must be prepared! Now it's best to inform Mr. Ge and the others about this matter, including His Highness the Seventh Prince!"
